Routine uses of records maintained in the system, including categories 
of users and the purposes of such uses:
    In addition to those disclosures generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. 
552a(b) of the Privacy Act of 1974, these records contained therein may 
specifically be disclosed outside the DoD as a routine use pursuant to 
5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(3) as follows:
    In any legal proceeding, where pertinent, to which DoD is a party 
before a court or administrative body (including, but not limited to 
the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and Merit Systems 
Protection Board).
    To any entity or individual under contract with NSA/CSS for the

of any client/patient, irrespective of whether or when he ceases to 
be a client/patient, maintained in connection with the performance 
of any alcohol or drug abuse prevention and treatment function 
conducted, regulated, or directly or indirectly assisted by any 
department or agency of the United States, shall, except as provided 
therein, be confidential and be disclosed only for the purposes and 
under the circumstances expressly authorized in 42 U.S.C. 290dd-2. 
This statute takes precedence over the Privacy Act of 1974, in

notices do not apply to these types of records.

(DoD 6025.18-R) issued pursuant to the Health Insurance Portability 
and Accountability Act of 1996, applies to most such health 
information. DoD 6025.18-R may place additional procedural 
requirements on the uses and disclosures of such information beyond 
those found in the Privacy Act of 1974 or mentioned in this system 
of records notice.

reports maintained in a system of records used in personnel or 
administrative actions.

evaluation purposes and which are not used to make decisions on the

determining suitability, eligibility, or qualifications for federal 
civilian employment, military service, federal contracts, or access to 
classified information may be exempt pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(5), 
but only to the extent that such material

[[Page 61679]]

would reveal the identity of a confidential source.
